MONDAY=BLUE
TUESDAY=GREEN
THURSDAY=RED
FRIDAY=WHITE
SATURDAY=YELLOW
So, if today was Thursday,you would want the red twist tie;not the white which is Friday’s(almost a week old) The colors go alphabetically by color Blue-Green-Red-White-Yellow,Monday through Saturday,Very easy to remember.I thought this was interesting.I looked in the grocery stores DO have different twist ties,and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors.
Here’s a bonus: GRAPE GATORADE works for MIGRAINE HEADACHES
